Philips 18W G24D-2 Double Tube

This Philips 18W double tube fluorescent bulb uses a 2-pin G24D-2 base and delivers 1200 lumens at a 3500K colour temperature. It suits commercial and residential fixtures that require a compact plug-in light source with a rated life of 10000 hours.

Upgrade from older single-tube lamps

The double tube design packs more output into the same footprint so you gain brightness without changing the fixture. The jump is worth it when existing single-tube bulbs look dim or when a higher colour rendering index of 82 improves task visibility in offices or retail displays.

Suits G24D-2 magnetic ballast fixtures

Buyers with 2-pin G24D-2 sockets on magnetic ballasts can install this bulb directly. It is not for electronic ballast sockets, 4-pin bases, LED retrofit projects or any fixture that requires a different wattage or pin configuration.

Questions about this item

Will the G24D-2 base fit my existing 2-pin recessed fixture?

Yes, the bulb uses a standard G24D-2 2-pin base designed for compatible recessed or surface-mounted fixtures.

How do I install the bulb without damaging the double tube?

Align the two pins with the socket slots, push straight in until seated, then twist slightly to lock; forcing it at an angle cracks the glass tubes.

When should I replace the bulb based on its rated life?

Plan replacement around 10000 hours of use; light output and colour consistency decline gradually after that point.
